By the time Ivana Bennett woke naturally, it was already mid-afternoon.
Although she was fully awake, she didn't open her eyes, attempting to reach out for the body next to her instead. Just when she was about to open her eyes as her hand wandered around without finding anything...
...a hand reached out to grasp hers.
"Awake yet?"
Ivana opened her eyes and gave him a languid smile.
"You woke up too early."
Gently taking her small hand, bringing it to his lips for a soft kiss, Lucas Walker's eyebrows knitted at the sight of her eyes, evidently reddened and slightly swollen.
"Have something to eat, then we're going to the hospital."
"Hospital?" Ivana's initially half-closed eyes sprung open as she sat up in bed, concern etched on her face, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Covering her bare shoulders with the blanket, Lucas Walker reassured her with a smile, "I'm fine. I just want to get you a thorough medical check-up."
